Talking to the “teacher reflection groups” works very well, I think. That way we know if the activities, tools, texts,… we produce are clear and useful.
It can also work the other way around: when we started working on the core skills book, we sat down with a few teachers and asked what they would find useful for the book. Based on those ideas we made a little survey for our whole teacherpopulation in the school. This gives a good idea of what content would be interesting. I think that getting teachers involved in as many steps of the creating proces of the books is indeed very important.

I think Katleen is absolutely right – my ideas for the primary book (and I am NOT a primary teacher!) changed totally after getting feedback from primary teachers! Please let us know how you are getting on with your teachers and the sort of things they are saying.
